>> This giveaway is a goddamm travesty. How about instead, Cuomo gives me and any other startup founder who's been in Brooklyn or Queens for decades $48,000 for every job we've created and we tell Amazon to go fuck themselves.

So true. The rent in NYC is already very high. What kind of lifestyle can a blue collar worker afford in NYC? Obviously the only winners here are corrupt politicians and greedy Amazon execs. They should all be jailed.

You can dislike tax incentives if you want to, but the hyperbole is so over the top it becomes radical, divisive, noise.

We need less of this in these discussions.

The division is real and worsening. It's not an imaginary concept that we can choose not to discuss.

Discussing can be productive.

Calling for a blanket incarceration of legislators and Amazon executives is not.
